It is nearly that time again fellow discgolfers. A time where we will all support a great cause while playing this great game that we all love. Regardless of the weather! No wimps! No whiners!

This year the Atl. will be doing the Icebowl in a truely unique fashion. With so much competition going on this year, it is only fitting to pit one Icebowl aganst another. And so without further delay I introduce the competitors for Atlanta Icebowl 2008!

For the first weeekend Jan. 19, JP Moseley park will be coming out swinging with it's newly designed and finished 18 hole championship course! At over 7100 ft+ this course is the longest installed 18 hole course in metro Atlanta. And if anyone else ties to say differently, we will move the pro tees back just to prove that we are right(at least for 1 day) and they are wrong! The charity of choice? A Friends House. This charity helps abused and neglected children. They provide these children with lodging, food, clothes, school supplies, movies, and much, much more.

The second weekend features the challenger. While not quite yet a permenant course Perkerson Park could yet prove to Atlanta that it is the course to reckon with. With a terrain and feel of a USDGC type course, this inner-city gem is sure to delight golfers of all ages! While a firm date has not yet been confirmed, it is tentalively planned for Jan 26 or Feb. 2. Charity of choice has not yet been set.

These two courses will meet this new year of 2008. Your Icebowl TD's are John Ritger, and me, Daniel May. Amounts for entry have not yet been set, but they very well might include your time, money, and donated food items. Prizes will indeed be given out, but as of now, none of the prizes include anyting from either the Clinton library, the Louve in France, Carl's disc golf bag, or Starbucks coffee. Do expect plenty of great giveaways and exciting CTP's however, and I'm am also hoping that one disc golfer at each event will step up to bring chili so that we may all eat and pass gas on each other later on in the second rounds!

Media will be alerted of our presence. The Icebowls will be registred in the upcoming week. We would love any Sponserships that could be donated. We would love any prizes that can be donated (even if they were taken from Carl's disc golf bag)! If you can assist in anyway, please let us know. And as always we want you to show up!

What are these two courses competing for? Players? No. We want all of you to show up for both dates. This competition is for bragging rights. Thats right man! Which Icebowl will raise the most money? Which Icebowl will receive the most media coverage? Which course picked the coldest date and/or the worst weather? Which course featured the most prizes given from Carl's golf bag?

These are the questions that need to be answered people. But we need your help in determining which course is the big winner and which is the big whiner.

Bootsie, last time I checked, Africa was a different continent. Gawd yor dumm. Why don't you change your moniker to Shitkicker. Yeeeehawwww! Try a new sport like bowling. You won't find any alleys in the ghetto. Ha ha huh? Or how about NASCAR? Last time I checked, most of the fans sounded just like you. Peace.

I'll see if Baker Paint can toss up a sponsership for the ice bowls..yes both!! I just need charity info from both of you guys. As for a park being in a *ghetto* area....the area is really nice around Perkerson Park....is is like all areas in Ga.... a great mix in diversity and cultures... I'll toss in another $25** to that bet totaling $125** to play both courses without calling it quits......

Ganderby how about talking smack to my face instead of hiding on this site. My comments weren't directed towards you, so your reply wasn't necessary. I'm having fun with someone I know and wasn't getting personal, but if you want to thats cool with me. Peace.

Hey!! Hey!! Wills park did nothing to nobody, you don't have to be dragging its name through the mud.
The only thing invalid about Wills park is all the hot moms and high schools chicks always checking me out. BAKAA

I'd much rather play top notch course in the "ghetto". Wills has history, I respect that. It's worthless now IMO. For Perkerson to be labeled "ghetto" you think you would see more brothers hanging drinking 40's and shooting dice. I haven't seen any of that. Probably won't. Perkerson is a hidden inner city gem and it will be the best permanent course in GA as soon as it's in. Now it stands as the second best temp course. Crucible has it by a hair.

I was being a bit ironic. I'm ghetting a kick at how this thread has gotten so off topic. Let's put it all behind us now and get back to the Icebowl, shall we? Uh, I most likely won't be going. But if I am, I'll let you know, Boohoohootsie. Then, we can meet after school in the park.

The Ice Bowl is for all those disc golfers gutsy, crazy, desperate, or fun-loving enough to join together in an act of disc golf solidarity around the world. Regardless of the weather conditions, the idea is to have fun, raise funds and food for local food banks (or other kinds of charity), and dispel the gloom of winter.

There are mandatory Ice Bowl Rules:

#1—Under no circumstances, may an Ice Bowl be cancelled or postponed because of weather conditions.

#2—No wimps or whiners are allowed.

#3.—There are no excuses for not attending. (Either be there or be a wimp!)

A Friend's House is an emergency shelter for children in the custody of the Department of Family and Children's Services. A Friend's House can house twelve children at a time, ages birth to eighteen. A Friend's House is a safe and home-like environment where children can work through emotional pain they have suffered in a non-threatening atmosphere.

Everybody who is signed up for the icebowl will be eligible to win. Must be present to win. Additional raffle tickets will be available for purchase.

i saw a convoy of those suckers zip over deerlick at the PrimoPlastic Intergalactic Championships. you snag one from roswell, nm or area 51,
my brother? any life form remains included in the one you captured and are ballyhooing?
thank you.

I've recently come across some additional items that are acceptable for A Friends House and thr Icebowl tournament.

General Wish List
A FriendÌs House has many needs, large and small. We have listed below a selection of those needs. You may buy or donate money for specific purchases or projects, as well. All donations are tax deductible. If you have any questions, please leave a message at 678-432-1518. Thank you for your support!! Underlined items are of the greatest need.

* If you are planning on donating any clothing or shoes please make sure that is unworn and is brand new.

***On a side note I will not be checking the value of these items and with the addition of $10 and anyone of these items you will gain entry. Please make sure that if you go decide to bring any of the items off of this list that you keep in mind that most items will be used by children and young teenagers.

their needs are great and we are blessed, my bro.
i'll do the best i can to fill at least some of the needs, as i'm sure each of the local dg community will too.
thanks for providing the list.
can't wait to play the course.
some top-shelf reviews floating around.

Course is primped and ready to play. Open and Advanced will play from gold tees, Intemediate from blue, and Juniors and Recreational from red. The course is looking good and I am hopeful for a great turnout.

Greg is bringin a scoreport. I've recieved the scorecards. I will be making cards for players names to use on the scoreport, I am also finishing the tournament flyer tonight. If you would like to bring some water to use in the coolers I sure would appreciate it.

I'm still hoping that the wind decides to come either in the night or on the following day. Looking like a slim chance so far.

Best score with the wind will be 60, maybe break 60 with mulligans. Thats one thing the wind will do, encourage mulligans. 1-$3, 2-$5, 5-$10, 15-$20. (must take mulligan shot, and only one per hole, and your choice on where it will be).

Ace fund: $3 ($2 for players, $1 for charity, aces split, throwoff for ace if no one hits.)

Basket Raffle: Everyone receives a ticket. Additional tickets may be purchased. Same price as mulligans. Must be present to win.

CTP's: Multiple CTP's, some free, others not. Some for prizes, possibly others will be for cash.

Long Putt Challange (free): Hole# 18. Field aces count.

Ring of fire (free): Multiple items to be given away. Would like to find some place to do this with minimal wind and adaquete space. Probably will be hole #18, or a practice basket set up near the ball fields.

Well it looks like the winds will not be quite as strong as originally expected, but it does look like this will be an ICEBOWL EVENT! Please dress warm and smartly. I suggest weatherproof jackets and/or a change of clothes/shoes.

anyone stepped up to the chilli challenge? if not, I'll make some spicy, and not so spicy.
disclaimer: spicy may be considered *hotter than all get out*, and not so spicy may be considered to some as *is my tounge still there*

main ingredients : meat, beans, tomatoes, spices, red cayenne, habanero, jalapeno and garlic, and so forth.... not so spicey will have less peppers than the spicy. Beans will be dark kidneys, and pinto's

Your numbers guess is going to be as good as mine. I will have players packs for 50 people and food (chili) to feed at least as much. I you would like to bring sme chili yeah c'mon. The more the merrier.

how about a swamp? would that work for you? I'll bring some spicy chilli and Danny will have the regular chilli. I'll see if i can get some cornbread also. Rice and cheese even.... exit stage left.....

Thanks Daniel - I'm looking forward to a round at Mosley when it is warm
and dry. Yesterday was a brutal day, in true ice bowl fashion.
I'm glad that was my first golf at the park. Now it won't seem so tough(but it is) in the future.

I know most people are unaware, and I certainly did not know, that ET was our top donator. A Friends House, the Ice Bowl Tournament, and the disc golf community are in awe of your generosity, and I for one am thankful to call you my friend. I will not post the $ amount of items that you gave b/c I respect the fact that some things are better done with humility and guile. But I will say I got a chance to see the kids who live at A Friends House last night and your donations and gifts are going to go a long way my friend. The badmitton set was a superb idea, the clothes were of the appopiate age, and the movies will definetly not go unwatched.The reward for your bestowment will not be completely realized by us, but I am sure its enjoyment will continue for much longer than we realize.

As top donator not only do you get this great recognitional post, but you also receive the last items reserved for the top donator. Three items in particular: An Ice Bowl disc, a 20th edition of the course directory, and a Ken Climo autographed USDGC program. While it is just a small token to your treasure chest of generosity, please accept it as our way to say thank you.

Thank you.

I also want to thank Greg Campbell for donating such nice items to the JP Ice Bowl. Greg you help out the disc golf community in ways that cannot be measured. If I wasn't a guy and I didn't already play for the other team, I would have to kiss you. You are a true assest to the Atlanta community and I thank you for all that you have done. Anytime you want to throw some discs give me a holler and I'll meet you out there (wherever out there may be).

leave me alone, brer' daniel!
look, truth is, i went out on a limb and i don't care.
i've got a job interview tomorrow that, with God's help, will go well enough for me to make it to the next interview level. That's all.
It's fun game to play, this interview stuff.
i like to pose questions to the interviewer so much, i usually end up doing the interviewing!
i'm sure they regret ever considering me.
serves them right!
so, wish me luck.
if all goes well and i get hired, mabye i can get my employer to provide, in the future, matching funds for charitable donations (wishful thinking)!
More and more progressive companies are doing it these days.
easy to ask, "you got a matching donations program?".
they are boxed and can't lie.
and if they say no, at least you've introduced them to the idea, or, at minimum shown them an interest in a program they may already be considering.
win/win!
AND, LEAVE ME ALONE, B'RER D!!!
you're irritating!

i be too lazy sometimes.
how spell br'er?
i usually use dictionary.com or msn.com live search to look up words, and a whole lot more. still have to always give a nod to dogpile as one of my origional all-time favorite search engine, tho'.
msn. com is really doing some incredible stuff these days. i think they are a sleeping giant that finally opened it's eyes.
how to properly spell br'er, um, brer', no, 'brer, that ain't right...
HELP?!

Please pray to whomever it is that you pray. Ask your GOD to please find ET a job so we don't have to sit through anymore of his useless ramblings. I pray that he gets a 2nd shift 8-8 type job. Or just have his posts make sense. Or if all else fails I pray that he's castrated, just because.

YOU LOSE!, as always!
my dream job is to research stuff and write about it.
guess what one of the SPORTS i enjoy playing is?
give up, yet?
YOU LOSE(r)!!!
change to the faction, right on!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you can, please join the ADGO and the PDGA and mabye the Bag Tag Action and definitely a touring league and possibly a club league.
And you are mandated to join a group of friends to play and talk about disc golf, and you are further mandated to play alone if you want to.
you are also mandated to post on this message board about ANYTHING, within reason, if you so feel.
your eyes might be opened.
be afraid. be VERY afraid...

PS--- I don't think I will play another Tourney that has them. After all, the money goes to charity so at least let us have a competitive round w/ some side action. A 54 is damn good @ Moseley, but w/ 14 mulligans, come on.

I love parades. Especially all of the decorated floats. I'll tell you what buddies those flowers they use sure are pretty. Happy Meals make my butt hole leak so I stay away from those. Only veggie burgers for me please. Bye now!!

Hey Butt-ee get a grip no one needs that info. remember s.s.steve jones
when you open your mouth you give us access to put in it what we like.
on another note WT? R U Trippin on look down it might be a 'Brer
